Reintroduction

Hi! I'm an old time forum member who dropped out for a bit (20 years!) but have recently psuedo-retired and started getting back into the hobby. Not that I ever left, but my purchases and interest have started picking back up this year. Finally getting around to filling some of those holes in my sets that have been there forever.
Anyway, looking forward to connecting (or re-connecting with anyone else from two decades ago)!

I remember you. Were you friends with Russ or Boichiman? I am in Oregon and have been here since before the "You Suck" days when we were making coins and Ebay was hot.
Yeah, you're familiar too. I never met Russ in person, but we exchanged posts a bit
Quite a few of the old timers are no longer with us.
Welcome back 🙏
Me too! Welcome home!
what series returning senior forumite?
were you buying anything in the interim?
Lately I’ve been focusing on the early federal coins for my type set (like my recently acquired avatar) - really liking the late 18th and early 19th century coins. Still made some purchases over the last twenty years - most notably put together a set of peace dollars and a set of classic quarter eagles.
Welcome back
Very nice! Willing to share some pics?

Sure, here's the chain cent I recently acquired .. one of those coins I'd wanted since I was a kid and was finally in a position to be able to acquire.
One of my quarter eagles - really like the colors on this one.
And the Peace dollar that completed my set (I purposely saved the most common for last).
love the 2.5 ... welcome back !!

Welcome back. It's sort of amusing to realize that you last post before today was in April 2009. But talk about coming back with a bang--a chain cent and your quarter eagle. Your Peace dollar is cool but I really like the cent and quarter eagle!
Thanks. I put together the peace dollars first but yeah as I get older I’m finding the earlier, circulated coins resonate with me more
Killer chain !
Welcome back .......
Back when you left, you may remember me as that annoying kid from the east coast. Well, I’m still annoying, but (except perhaps relative to most of the folks here 😁) I’m not a kid and now I’m your neighbor.
I do remember you as a YN @airplanenut Never annoying though, glad to see you stayed in the hobby! Are you in WA state now?
I was 3 when u left

i don't know if you know, but this forum software has a bug where it randomly (mostly not) sends posts to "needs moderation" purgatory. this can happen with a new thread, a new post or an edit... and even private messages
if you are writing something long and/or with lots of pics, copy the text out to MS notepad or something similar on apples before you hit post message
I haven't met him, though I would be happy to!
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Yup! Moved here in 2009
Welcome home!

Welcome back. That Chain cent is awesome. I've never owned one.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Welcome back to the greatest hobby ever! We don’t know each other yet, but looking forward to seeing more of your material. That Chain Cent is stellar. Zack.
Too bad I didn't come back before the PNNA show - but if there's another upcoming NW event/show, be great to meet some folks in the area!
Welcome back, I think I remember you from 20 years ago. I dropped off for a while too and came back in 2020.
